Don’t let people pressure you. Live life your way!

I’m almost 25, I recently just started my first year in University. People my age are either married, have well paid jobs or have atleast two degrees or qualifications to their name. I have been pressured into dropping out of studying and just getting married because apparently “it’s too late now to try and get a degree at this age”. But I do not care. My circumstance is different, my parents could not afford to send me to university, I have worked three different jobs, saved up all my money and now I am using it to pay for my fees.

So to all those people who feel like giving up, if you are being pressured into doing something you don’t want, do not do it, do not compare yourself to others. Each person is fighting a different battle. We all come from different backgrounds and circumstances. Keep doing what makes you happy.
